Go for the golf and beer buckets, stay for the food and the live music.

That’s the formula John Delgado hung his hat on when he opened the Rolling Oaks Golf & Grill, located right off Loop 1604 at 5550 Mountain Vista Dr., 20 years ago.

And after eight years of allowing the operation to be run by five different tenants, the Delgado family has resumed control of the operation and is promising a return to the original formula that made the property a Northeast Side entertainment destination.

“It’s a family-run business, and after leasing the property out, we decided to take back control after the last change of hands,” Phil Delgado said. “We decided we wanted to restore Rolling Oaks back to its original glory.”

The new kitchen started operations Aug, 10. The menu, which is still being set, is heavy on Mexican offerings such as chalupa plates, quesadillas and nachos priced from $7 to $9. But customers can grab a freshly grilled burger ($9) and other sports bar munchies like bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers ($9 for 5), wings ($9 for 10) and chili cheese fries ($7).

Rolling Oaks doesn’t have a full bar, but six different kinds of beer are available on tap, including local favorites such as Busted Sandal Slippery Rock IPA and Uncle Billy’s Barton Springs Pale Ale. Customers can also get select $3 canned beers (Lone Star, Tecate Light, Budweiser and Sierra Nevada) at all hours, and buckets of six for $20.

Live music on the outdoor patio returns on Thursday night, where Austin Gilliam will perform a free show. Ruben V will perform on Friday night and Brandon Rhyder takes the stage on Saturday.

The golf range, which includes an island green, is back up and running after more than a month of renovations. Golf lessons are available and there is a full-service pro shop with club repair and used club sets for sale.

“We want everybody to know that the Rolling Oaks that everybody remembers is back, and the old timers will like what they see,” Delgado said.
